Crockpot Freezer Meals

Everyone has time for Freezer Meals!!! 


This week I knocked out some freezer meals to have ready for when my son decides to make an appearance!! Nothing like having meals ready to go when the last thing you want to think about is cooking, especially with having a newborn and a toddler! 

It really takes no time at all, especially when you're doing them clean!  Meat, veggies, spices, sauces.. and viola its ready to go!  I chose to do crockpot variations this time because lets face it… there is nothing easier than waking up, putting food in the crockpot, and 8 hours later dinner is done!  Not to mention the house smells amazing too!! 




Here are the meals I chose to do.  There are many MANY different freezer meals on the web, but these are the ones that looked yummy to me.  Feel free to search freezer meals on Pinterest you will find TONS of ideas! 

1. Chicken Cacciatore
2. Hearty Beef Stew 
3. Maple Dijon Chicken
4. Pineapple Glazed Ham
5. Salsa Chicken
6. Garlic Ginger Beef
7. Ginger Cranberry Pork Roast 

Ready for the freezer!!

I found these recipes from several sources that I will list.  There are a couple things to change to make them "cleaner".  For any of the "cream of" soups I used the brand Pacific Foods.  They make those soups without any preservatives or additives and really minimal ingredients!  For the brown sugar in the Pineapple Glazed Ham I substituted coconut sugar.  Other than that I pretty much followed the recipes given! Super Easy!! 



The recipes come from:

Cranberry Ginger Pork Roast

Hope this helps you all!!! I know its going to be a lifesaver for me when this baby comes!! 

Happy Cooking! :)

  1. Yum I love to have meals tucked away for those times I'm less inclined to cook. Good luck with your boy, I have three and OH MY! the gray hair and wrinkles I have tell the story : )
